Checking Errors

Postby eejje » Thu Aug 11, 2005 11:47 am

Am I correct that a single number could not appear in the upper left corner of more than one box (or in the middle square of more than one box, ext.)? If this is true, this will help me a lot in back-tracking when I encounter a block.

Thanks!

No, if sg like this is, what you mean (thats possible):
Code: Select all
 1  .  . | .  .  . | .  .  .
 .  .  . | .  1  . | .  .  .
 .  .  . | .  .  . | .  .  1
---------+---------+---------
 .  .  . | 1  .  . | .  .  .
 .  1  . | .  .  . | .  .  .
 .  .  . | .  .  . | .  1  .
---------+---------+---------
 .  .  . | .  .  . | 1 .  .
 .  .  . | .  .  1 | .  .  .
 .  .  1 | .  .  . | .  .  .
